Remembering Winged Warrior

Four and a half years ago we lost a fine poet, a knightly gentleman, and a friend to many of us. I'm reposting my tribute to him today. Warrior is an adjective used for a hero or a knight I knew one, briefly, whose wings have taken flight Not just a fine poet was John, but also very kind Generous and caring, is how he would be defined Endearing was his 'love and light' message to all Departed now, but his memory I will always recall With words of tribute, I honor his humorous wit Always a positive attitude, he was a candle ~ lit Rest peacefully, ^WW^ ~ You're missed, my friend Reflecting Ripples is a poem John sadly penned In it he wrote about "shadows" and "silent sorrows" Oh, If from fate, I could be the one who borrows Respite from death, you'd have more tomorrows
